did you have to scream to yourself "JUST DO IT" in order to keep yourself motivated to make that?

I did not make that.

I think my biggest issue is that I just start with a big open canvas. I never know what I want to draw or how big to make it.

my issue with art is that i just hate everything that I draw period. whenever i draw something it almost always has flaws in it that I can tell instantly. i guess i could be better off as an art critic but not an artist.

well, since you already had a picture in mind of what you wanted to draw, it looks worse to you because you compare it to the idea in your head
but other people don't have access to your brain, so the end result usually looks better to everyone else than it does to you
and besides, if you don't draw much, you won't get any practice

You are your own worst critic. This isn't different from any other artist. What is different is what drives you. If you have the mindset that everything you draw will always be stuff, and that you don't want to draw because if it, then you will never grow as an artist. You might as well stop trying. But if you have a drive to always get better (and you will!), then that manifests itself and progress shows. You have to want it. You can't just let what you do currently get you down.

i'll just post some ancient art i have from months ago, i may have changed a bit but it's more or less what you can expect when I draw "seriously"




it may look okay but it's really easy to tell that i used the line and circle tools as a crutch. but eh, it might look fine, i mean we don't have incredibly brown town critics here or something
